Project: Jingle bells rock! (bracelet and earrings)

I’m usually against cutesy jewelry, but I will make an exception for jewelry that makes noise. And man, this bracelet and earrings set can jam!

Most of the materials are made by Westrim Crafts, and are available at Michael’s, which is open until 6 p.m. today. The only things that aren’t are the earring hoops and the clasp on the bracelet, which I got from Fire Mountain Gems, but they can easily be substituted for different hoops and clasps. I meant to post these projects sooner, but if you go out and buy the materials, you’ll have a fun holiday activity tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, and happy beading!

P.S. That’s the MySA.com Christmas tree in the background of the photos, in case y’all were wondering.

2. On either side of the snowman, string this pattern: red bell, green bell, red bell, green bell. Then, string a gold bell on one side, and a silver bell on the other. Repeat this pattern once on each side, except switch the gold and silver sides this time.

3. String a red bell, green bell, red bell and green bell on each side, then string a snowman on each side.
